Soccer on Saturday

On Saturday, I played against wood bridge. We knew they were going to be a difficult team.

The game started and I was put in net....again. I was kinda disappointed but my dad told me to play and try hard anyway. The game started and they quickly put one on me. It hit the post and then they scored da rebound.

No more goals in the first half so we went on to the second. That was when I got my game on. They started strong again and kept striking shots at me. I just dived, saved, and cleared everything. Now, about the referee. The Woodbridge parents were getting mad and yelling things like "Come on, you moron, he had advantage" or "How much did Waterloo pay you to call that?!!?!?". But, still, they had a reason. The referee gave #66 a penalty ( 2 minutes ) for blocking a kick in twice. A PENALTY IN SOCCER????? I couldn't help but laugh. It was too funny.

Eventually, I sent a ball to Adam B., he passed to Joel, then POOM!. 1-1. Then a minute later, the same thing happened. Same play and POOM! 2-1. Then, with 2 minutes to go, they started pressing and I was getting scared. They got a breakaway with 10 seconds to go!!! The player came to me, I ran out, we collided, I sent him to the ground and(of course) took my time to get the ball. 2-1 . We managed to stay undefeated for now...........


After that, I got about 27 congratulations and my dad nicknamed me Santi "Spiderman" Almada. Now I even have a cool nickname. We left the field and went to eat but that's a whole other story........

GOLAZO! Chilavert

The name explains it all.........



and so does da video.

Kleinburg

We played Kleinburg on Saturday. It was the shortest game in my life. Turns out, we didn't even play. It got cancelled due to weather(snow storm). :-(


So, anyway it wasn't too bad.

Brampton B

We played Brampton East B on Saturday. Let's put it this way.

WE OWNED!

We won 6-1. I was in net. Here's a video(It's a goal).

Bored......

I've been really bored on the computer lately...............

So please comment on some ways I could un-bore myself

Today's Soccer Game

Today, we played Brampton East A in the indoor soccer league. We were all scared since Brampton teams are always really good. One of them, in fact, is the best team in Ontario! I surprisingly got to use the number 10. Here's a picture.

Anyway, the game started and I started as right forward. Early in the game, Adam B. caught a pass and basically deked their entire team out, shot and scored. 1-0 early on. Brampton eventually got it back. We hit the crossbar one time and we went into the half 1-1.

We were playing badly and we were losing every ball. So, we got a strong pep-talk from the coach and message got through the team.

So the second half started. I was off and I got a private talk with the coach telling me to play harder and put more effort into my game. Boy, did that ever pay off. I went in and we quickly got a goal from Adam A. He shot it bottom right hand corner. 3 minutes after that, Adam B. got the ball and sent a pass to Kaleb. I ran quickly around their entire defence and Kaleb laid it off to me....a wide open net........GOAL! I scored my first goal of the indoor season. My dad got a picture of it. Here it is but you don't see the net.

My dad and I drew a picture showing where the ball went.

Brampton started to press harder and we quickly gave up a goal. Then with 10 seconds remaining, they got a lucky shot that made it to the net, got tipped up by our goalie, came down hit the crossbar, our goalie got it, and as he came down, it slipped out of his hands and a Brampton player headed it in. 3-3.

The game then ended and we were all disappointed but still, we tied Brampton. I think that's good enough.

Argentina vs. Bolivia

Here are the highlights to the Argentina Bolivia match



Enjoy (lol) Santi

P.S. I just found it.

Fiddler on the Roof

In school, we went to see Fiddler on the Roof. Then we started practicing it. It turns out were actually gonna present it. :O I got the part as Avram the bookeeper and now I'm Obssesed with the song Tradition. Here it is.



Yes I do know that this has nothing to do with soccer but still. Come on, it's a good song, okay? :P:P

Soccer vs Orangeville (again)

Here's a clip of me in net against Orangeville. I found it just a while ago and i should of posted it with the Orangeville post. :( :(



There it is.

WOW!

I was just browsing on youtube and I found this amazing video. It's an amzing indoor soccer goal!! :D




Please feel free to comment!

Youtube.....

I have recently joined Youtube (February 1st 2007). I make videos and I have made videos that are pretty popular. Here's one.



Also, I might be posting some great goals that I've seen so keep coming.

Soccer vs. Orangeville

Well, we played Orangeville and man, what a game. The feild was really big and we played pretty bad. I was in net.


The game started and Joel scored 30 seconds in. We were happy since we got a very early lead. The game went on and we got another goal by Patrick. He got a pass from Kaleb(I think) and then deked out the goalie and tapped it in. We went in to half time 2-0.

The game started again and Patrick scored again. It was another tap in but we were still happy with it. Later, we gave up a really stupid foul and they took the free kick. Now, it wasn't good but one of our defenders was too busy complaining that he left a man open. The he jynxed me and that led to the goal. He didn't head it though. 3-1.

I was really mad but I kept thinking to myself " We better get another goal since we gave up such a stupid one". And boy did we. Joel got a pass from Kaleb and then BOOM! volleyed it into the top corner. It was really, really amazing. Joel and Kaleb make a great combination.

The game ended 4-1 and I had real fun! Next week, I hope I play out in forward. :)
